Caffeine Half-life Calculator

Tags: biology
Reading time: about 2 minutes
This page contains information about the biological half-life of caffeine.

What is the Half-Life of Caffeine?

The half-life of caffeine can be used to calculate how long coffee will affect you after you drink some. Knowing this can help you adjust your coffee intake in order to improve your sleep schedule, or help you determine how often you should drink caffeine in order to maintain a stable level of caffeine through the day.

The biological half-life of caffeine in typical adults is between 5 to 6 hours. This means if you had 100 grams of caffeine, you would have around 50 grams after 5 hours.

Keep in mind that after the amount becomes very small, it is likely that the body will dispose of it all at once rather than halving the amount forever.

Formula

It is very easy to calculate this with a calculator. To calculate the caffeine you will have 5 hours later, multiply the amount you have with 0.5, and to calculate the amount you will have 1 hour later, multiply the amount by 0.09.

Hi everyone! I fixed some problems with the calculator, so the results should be more accurate now. I hadn't touched the calculator in a long time, I cleaned up the internals and made it easier to do updates and fixes in the future.

I am working on an input format that is easier to use. I'd appreciate any feedback or improvements regarding the tool. Feel free to discuss tips and tricks in the comments.

Thanks for making this! Found out I basically have the equivelent of a whole cup of coffee in me by the time I'm trying to go to bed! Probably need to readjust my habits...

This is great! Would maybe need a caffeine half time input somewhere, that changes a lot from person to person.

Anyone know what a "very small amount" means when the body disposes of it?

I should be good to sleep if the calculator says 23mg at bed time right?

Oh no, now I'm a little worried at how I'm able to sleep after closing shifts with so much caffeine in my system.

Thank you for this Gokberk, this is excellent. I do have a question - The calculator seems to be working off a 7-8 hour caffeine half-life but as you stated above, the half-life for typical adults is 5-6 hours. Have you factored in absorbtion time? Could you clarify?

Cheers, Liam

Great tool, thank you. I think average users would benefit from a more guided input format, but that might not be worth your time.
